"Gay" in the News: Arizona and "NO GAYS ALLOWED"
Why do homosexual advocates insist that the Arizona law will result in "NO GAYS ALLOWED" signs? They seem to have reasons of their own. Some analysis of the new law concludes that discrimination is already legal and permissible under current Arizona law. If businesses in Arizona were inclined to plaster their establishments with such signs, they could already be doing it.
Perhaps the question that needs to be addressed is, why are opponents of the new law so convinced that it was written specifically to promote "anti-gay" discrimination? The purpose of the new law seems to be to protect business from being sued for claiming a religious basis for their philosophy and practice. The term "gay" is not found anywhere in the bill.
Could it be that homosexual advocates just generally oppose anything which furthers religious interests? If so, perhaps the bill is well justified.
Of course, one of the most frequently suggested idea from those opposing the Arizona law is that nobody is forced to operate a business in Arizona. Sort of a twisted "Love It or Leave It" slogan. Sad to say, any business owner who presumes to have a right to religious views would be well advised to think twice.

"Gay" in the News: Arizona Controversy
Those of you who claim religious rights in Arizona are irritating to those of us who are "gay". Opponents of the legislation assert that the result will be "NO GAYS ALLOWED" signs being posted by businesses.
Aside from the fact that no such signs have ever been produced, other than by "gays" making this argument, this is cited by homosexual advocates as a compelling and inevitable "slippery slope".
I am not convinced by the specious reasoning. The number of tee-shirts on display with pro-homosexuality slogans is not equivalent to democratic process, nor does getting your staged protest tantrums in the news establish "consensus". This does not even amount to "appeal to authority" logic. It is simply demanding government support for a position that cannot be logically defended.
While the advocates for "equality" would find some satisfaction in forcing everyone to hold their hands over their hearts, stand at attention, and sing "Glory, Glory Hallelujah!" every time another "gay" flaunts his deviance, I feel no reverence for this false sense of "equality". It has little to do with bigotry, and everything to do with morality.
Self-identified "Gays", it would seem, have yet to live up to their own ridiculous labelling. They're just not all that gay.
